Like last week, my best friend Sheila and I were hanging out in our clubhouse, drinking lemonade and trying to figure out what to do about Marcia the Snob, when we suddenly noticed a weird inscription on this old medallion I found when I was little.

This is the story of my years in Paraguay. As I look back on my life, I realize that it has been a rather interesting one. Therefore, I thought I would tell my story. In this day and age, with print on demand and eBooks, anyone can become a published author. So why not me? It only takes time, and I seem to have a lot of it disposable now that I’m retired. There are a couple of caveats I need to add here at the beginning. One, these are my memories and, as such, may not be entirely reliable. As with most people, I have a tendency to remember some things and forget others. I, also, don’t ...
